Collections of works by Japanese artist Akinobu Izumi are not actually jewelry. Each of these masterpieces was created without use of gold and diamonds. Main feature of his works is not simply the creation of miniatures in bottles, but rather using of miniature bottles. The height of the bulb, in which the artist creates his miniatures, is only 22 millimeters in height and 12 millimeters in width!
Tiny World in a Bottle performed like clockwork. It’s amazing and unbelievable that Akinobu can build interesting scenes in a tiny bottle. You can use them as phone charms or pendants, or just keep it on your desk.

In Garden Grove, California, an exterior shot of The Crystal Cathedral, which is for sale since its congregation is in bankruptcy. A Roman Catholic diocese and a local university are in a bidding war for the property.
Jeebus, uh can we get more architecture like this in our cities, but like, not as churches? yes? no?
